Re: Binary-only packages and DH_GOPKG

[Michael Stapelberg <stapelberg@debian.org>]

The DH_GOPKG variable defaults to the value of the XS-Go-Import-Path debian/control field.

If you don’t reference DH_GOPKG in any of the rules, you can therefore omit it.

The example you found should be updated to no longer include DH_GOPKG, but to include XS-Go-Import-Path. Could you send a pull request please?

Thank you,

Does Binary-only package still need to set the DH_GOPKG variable?

dh-golang comes with an example debian/rules file:
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/dh-golang/blob/master/example/rules

You will need to change the value of DH_GOPKG to correspond to your
program’s upstream package name.

Is such "changing the value of DH_GOPKG" step still necessary?

Comparing to https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/dh-golang/blob/master/example/rules
my rule file at
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/ffcvt/blob/master/debian/rules
doesn't have the DH_GOPKG variable but it still builds OK.

Hence the question.

My whole build log is at:

Thx.
